Private Porter answers Cody from Omaha, Nebraska who asks; "How do you stay in touch with your family during basic training?"

Hi, my names Private Porter from Chesapeake, Ohio; Cody from Omaha, Nebraska asks; "How do you stay in touch with your family during basic training?"

Well Cody you get about an hour of personal time every night to write letters and after about 2-weeks you can receive mail. Then after a certain point into your training you can get a phone call on Sunday evenings, which really helps. Personally this was one of the hardest things for me during basic training. But you can do it, just hang in there and good luck.
